Jelqing: the latest in a long history of attempts to enlarge the male member

Posts advise that stretching a semi-erect penis could add up to an inch in length and girth by exploiting the body’s repair mechanisms.

Key Points: 
  • Posts advise that stretching a semi-erect penis could add up to an inch in length and girth by exploiting the body’s repair mechanisms.
  • Jelqing is just the latest in a long line of dubious penis enlargement techniques stretching (sorry) back millennia.
  • The ancient Greek method of lengthening the foreskin with a kynodesme (dog leash) seems positively mild compared with ancient Indian methods.
  • Penis pumps are also used for erectile dysfunction, but unlike some online claims, they don’t lengthen the penis.

Surgical interventions

  • Fillers are increasing in popularity, particularly hyaluronic acid (HA) injections.
  • HA is popular because it is doesn’t generate an immune response.
  • Surgery to cut the suspensory ligament anchoring the penis is the most widely accepted surgical elongation method.
  • A recent review concluded that evidence for supporting surgical procedures for penis enlargement is weak and the complications are under-reported.

Not needed, in most cases

  • A micropenis, usually diagnosed at birth, is where the penis is 2.5 standard deviations less than the average stretched penis length (2.3 to 2.5cm depending on ethnicity).
  • It is typically caused by a deficiency or imbalance of hormones such as testosterone or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), or genetics.
  • The female vagina is on average 2.5 to 3.8 inches deep, but lengthens during sexual arousal to accommodate a penis longer than this.
  • The female genitalia have multiple erogenous structures that can result in orgasm, so penile length isn’t the key characteristic.

A closer look at jelqing

  • The top two consist of numerous spaces that are surrounded by smooth muscle, which keeps most blood out of the spaces.
  • During an erection, the muscles relax allowing blood to flow in, filling these spaces, and enlarging penile volume.
  • While the theory sounds good, smooth muscle cells in the penis don’t respond in the same way skeletal muscle does.
  • If jelqing, or any other trend, was really that effective, we would have seen evidence of it in medical journals, and the sale of extra-large underwear would be making the headlines.

Age-related inflammasome signaling and its effects are compounded in the presence of kidney disease, leading to poorer outcomes.

Key Points: 
  • Age-related inflammasome signaling and its effects are compounded in the presence of kidney disease, leading to poorer outcomes.
  • ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 which can inhibit up to 12 different inflammasomes (including NLRP3 inflammasomes) and their associated ASC specks which perpetuate damaging inflammation.
  • Data demonstrate a critical role for NLRP3 inflammasomes in age-related kidney deterioration, which is exacerbated in the presence of kidney disease.
  • NLRP3 inflammasome signaling and its effects on podocytes may be a critical contributor to a lower threshold for developing kidney disease in older people.

Brics expansion: six more nations are set to join – what they’re buying into

The enlargement will grow the association’s membership to 11, and increase its envisaged role as a geopolitical alternative to global institutions dominated by the west.

Key Points: 
  • The enlargement will grow the association’s membership to 11, and increase its envisaged role as a geopolitical alternative to global institutions dominated by the west.
  • The Brics five represent about 42% of the world’s population and more than 23% of world GDP.
  • The disparate nature of the six new members is bound to spark debate about the real nature of Brics.
  • In his welcoming remarks at the summit (22-24 August), the host, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, stated:
    Brics stands for solidarity and for progress.

Understanding the nature of Brics

    • Brics is not an organisation (it has no headquarters, secretariat or treaty).
    • But it does have a formal institution that is jointly owned – the New Development Bank.
    • Read more:
      South Africa's role as host of the BRICS summit is fraught with dangers.
    • As a political scientist interested in global politics, I have written about Brics and its potential for changing the status quo.
    • With hindsight, I can assert that certain principles have informed it since its establishment and first summit in 2009.


    The association self-reportedly seeks secure sustainable development for itself and the global south, to safeguard and advance multilateralism, to institute reform for the goal of representative institutions, and to achieve solidarity among members.

Economic development

    • Economics comes first in the group; at its root, it is a collective of emerging economies eager to sustain and improve their economic trajectory.
    • Read more:
      China’s Africa strategy is shifting from extraction to investment – driven from the industry-rich Hunan region

      The group’s first, and so far only, notable establishment is the New Development Bank, primarily to finance infrastructure development.

Multilateralism

    • The second value refers to the group’s concern about the use of entities outside the UN to pursue global objectives.
    • The use of force can only be considered legitimate if the decision is sanctioned by the UN.

Global governance reform

    • Thirdly, the Brics countries have long pushed for leaders of global institutions to be elected in a transparent and democratic way.
    • For example, the president of the World Bank has always been an American, and the managing director of the IMF a European.

Solidarity

    • Finally, the members have articulated solidarity with one another in a number of declarations, beginning in 2010.
    • Read more:
      When two elephants fight: how the global south uses non-alignment to avoid great power rivalries

      In light of criticism and sanctions plans against China, for its alleged suppression of the Uyghur-Muslim population, and Russia, for invading Ukraine, solidarity has come to mean silence or nonalignment.

A blank slate

    • This has proved beneficial for member countries hosting Brics summits.
    • They get to set the agenda and use it for their ends – without upsetting the consensus.
    • Brazil and Russia have inserted issues that are important to their region, and often invited leaders of neighbouring countries to retreats.

  • The Brics five represent about 42% of the world’s population and more than 23% of world GDP.
